On the night Evergrande's U15 academy team wins the championship, trainee coach Lu Qian is not offered a permanent contract. Instead, he receives a petition signed by everyone demanding his dismissal.
The parents of the rich second-generation players slam wads of cash onto the desk. They sneer at him as a nobody from the sticks and demand the club hire a foreign coach with an impressive resume.
Faced with the arrogance of capital and the players' disdain, Lu Qian doesn't argue. He signs the petition without hesitation.
The moment he walks out, he activates the recovery function of the Green Pitch Talent Scout System.
The talented young heirs he had given top-tier “ball sense,” “vision,” and “stamina” buffs are returned to their original state overnight.
Lu Qian buys a hard-seat train ticket to Guizhou and takes over a bottom-of-the-table village league team that can't even scrape together enough soccer shoes.
While the foreign coach's rich kids, who can't keep a ball within ten yards, are thrashed 8–0 in the city league, Lu Qian stands on a muddy amateur pitch, giving a butcher the “swinging banana shot” and granting a delivery guy the “infinite stamina to run fullbacks into the ground.”
Capital thinks it can rule everything, but Lu Qian is determined to use the humblest grassroots players to smash the rotten barriers of professional soccer with a single kick!
